Thanks for the advice JAJ. It may be that we don't get a co for ages,
and then it would be a while to get meds booked ( when I booked last
week I could not get in until the 31st March ( 6 weeks )). So, with a
bit of luck it should give us a bit of leeway for an Easter 2007 trip.
We haven't applied for police checks yet either, so thats no problem.
Worst case scenario is we go for a validation trip at Christmas instead.
Actually, worst case scenario is they don't give us a visa!!
Cheers....
